A rack-changing apparatus for a continuous casting installation, especially for changing the curved guide, support and cooling racks of a continuous casting installation having a plurality of casting lines, has a carriage which is shiftable transversely to the casting lines on rails mounting below the casting floor and preferably extending beyond the installation to a location at which the racks can be deposited and picked up. An arm on the carriage is swingable in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis and is extensible and retractable while carrying on its end a clamping mechanism swingable in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis at the arm end for engagement with the racks. |
